Maaaaaaaybe Kira・pata・shining. Maybe.
oh there is a full version of this

The only clue for this one is that the track is titled "Magnesium.mp3". The file has no tag information except to say that it originated in 2009 and has BPM 210.
Found it on here: http://brkbrkbrk.com/8bcdump/ (warning: webpage autoplays music, also big page, but all text)
It seems to be part of a chiptune collection once hosted on a site called 8bitcollective. Apparently the artist name is "2PLAYER": source: https://archive.org/details/Best_of_8_Bit_Collective-2006-2011 <-- click to enter the collection (warning: takes a while to load because big), then do a Ctrl+F for "Magnesium". You should find a file titled "Day12-magnesium.mp3". The attribution file follows it and that is all the text it contains.
8bc.org apparently existed only from 2005 to 2011, so either I picked it up sometime then or later from a third party site.
Well at least now I can go tag it myself.
Edit: Oops. I went to tag it and that resulted in editing the track, meaning that its timestamp information has been lost so I don't know when I originally got the track. (I think my backup copy might still have the right timestamp?)
brb going to compose the MM2 soundtrack
I only have one disagreement: The main theme is in E minor, not A minor.
That song is definitely my favorite, though "decay" is another one that I like. The others are a bit on the quirky side I think? Like they don't quite strike me as the kind of song that I'd call my favorites, but on the other hand, they're certainly memorable and have certainly left an impression that has stayed with me for over a decade now. Now I did listen to the album a bit more than a few times back then, partly because I didn't really have that many albums to play around with at the time, but that's not to say the songs are bad. The first track has appealing harmonies overlaid with a melody that is often curiously awkward in an intriguing way, for example (the beginning of 2cm has an awkward jump from the fourth scale degree to the tonic, over a tonic chord, which is very much not how I'd write a melody, but for that reason it stands out). And various other tracks have English lyrics that became memorable sometimes because I just couldn't make sense of ("what if our life is on every weekdays from ten to eleven thirty-five?", "we're only two centimeters away now / I'll be home again / I'll be home again / to a place I might have been").
This combination of simple instrumentation, tonal (and mostly diatonic) harmonies, and intriguingly awkward melodies is something that would come up again when, much more recently, I listened to Vienna Teng's "Waking Hour", and to a lesser extent (with more complex instrumentation and less awkward melodies) some songs by Michelle Branch and Owl City's "Ocean Eyes" (which has more rhythmic singing than Rie fu). Also contrast with Ritsuko Okazaki's songs, which also have simple instrumentation and tonal (mostly diatonic) harmonies, but very smooth and simple melodies, and besides the harmonies aren't just tonal but also follow very predictable and thus comfortingly familiar patterns (that are much closer to classical harmony than the somewhat more pop-inspired harmonic progressions the others have).

Like if Pokemon had bike music this would be it (does Pokemon have bike music? I haven't played a game since like Black/White).
I wish there was a physical release of this game's songs.
Also a full length anime.
I wish Crystal Kay would go back to doing music like Delicious na Kinyoubi instead of the 900 ballads per album thing she's doing.
I organized all of my English music today, into the following folders.
Breakdown, if anybody cares:
Artists I Like - 70
Backstage - 10
Disney Channel - 134
Disney Channel Adjacent - 90
Dolls - 97
Eurovision - 74
Folk - 68
Glee - 18
Other TV Stuff - 33
Pop - 60
R+J - A Romeo & Juliet Story - 12
Rock - 33
The Lodge - 17
The Next Step - 71
Winx Club - 50
Wubwubwshrrrrr* - 38
XO-IQ - 53
Of course the Disney Channel folder is the largest. The folder "Artists I Like" is just like, mostly Jack Savoretti, The Girl and the Dreamcatcher, Francesco Gabbani, Olivia Holt and Lofti Begi.
*From my short-lived dubstep phase.
It will totally fail because it had to compete with Symphogear RX Dash Impact the Edgening and a bizarrely padded NoWaYu adaptation.
I'd watch Chikage reviewing games as long as it was Shichinin ver. Chikage.
I have no music related stuff to say now except I wonder if Symphogear RXDIE's album covers will just be screenshots from the show, considering how little effort is going into those already.
Disney Channel Adjacent is "these are artists who began their careers acting on the Disney Channel before being given recording deals by Hollywood Records or Cardinal Point, also Nickelodeon's forays into the musical market that aren't XO-IQ".
Just a rundown:
Don't be fooled if you see stuff like Demi Lovato or Selena Gomez on these lists, by the way. Once they crossed over into "serious" pop music I 100% stopped caring.
Anyway, my English-language music folders...
...well, first, they're interspersed with the rest of my music folders, because I make no special categorization by language, so now I have to go through and pick them out. Okay, so now let's pick out the ones that actually have English lyrics, as opposed to no lyrics at all, or only lyrics of non-English languages...
ABBA; a-ha; Alvin and the Chipmunks; Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire; Angel Moxie*; Aqua; Aquaria*; The Asterisk War; Rick Astley; ATC; Avenged Sevenfold; Backstreet Boys; Beach Boys; The Beatles; The Bee Gees; Black Eyed Peas; Blue Öyster Cult; James Blunt; Boards of Canada; Bon Jovi; The Bots (Presidential Truth Filter); Bowling for Soup; Michelle Branch; Tracy Byrd; Belinda Carlisle; Vanessa Carlton; Cascada; Character Building Songs*; Cheers*; Chii Sakurabi; Ciara; Neil Cicierega; Kelly Clarkson; Coldplay; Conker's Bad Fur Day*; Coolio; Jonathan Coulton; crossovers*; Cutting Crew; Daft Punk; Dance Dance Revolution*; Charlie Daniels; Maurizio de Jorio; John Denver; Des'ree; DEVICE 6*; Disney Princess*; DJ Encore; DJ Jurgen; DJ Satomi; Thomas Dolby; dothack*; Dragon Age*; DragonForce; Dream; Hilary Duff; Dumbo*; Eagles; Eiffel 65...
Of course, a good number of these have only one track in them. (In some cases they're not even by the named artist but a remix of something.)
* = not an artist, but just a context
DC music is the best.
I can't get over how much this sounds like somebody forgot to tell Monaca they're not on Garo right now.
This is such a me thing to say.

I think I listen to...probably around a song a day on average? Including non-vocal music, I definitely listen to more, though some of that may be music I've played myself, on the piano.
Now, if you include music that plays in my mind, then that number's higher...though still nowhere near 50.
Like, this past day:
* listened to songs at church
* thought about Guilty Crown's "Euterpe" and Melocure's "All in All"
* actually listened to "Euterpe" (English dub)
* attempted to transcribe "All in All" on piano
* messed around with parts of Ys Origin's "My Lord, Our Brave", Ys Origin's "Scarlet Tempest", and Chrono Trigger's Magus's theme, and MadoMagi's "Magia" on piano
* practiced Chopin's G# minor Étude Op. 25 #6
* listened to various in-game music in the normal course of playing 100% Orange Juice
So I actually only listened to one anisong and/or J-pop song today (and it was in English), and thought of three including that one.
Kind of surprising there was no lol today, there has been a looooot of lol lately.
